Background-The risk factors for ventricular arrhythmias in patients with coronary vasospasm have not been identified. We evaluated QT dispersion in patients with vasospastic angina and its relation to susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion.Methods and Results-We assessed the corrected QT (QTc) dispersion before induction of coronary artery spasm by intracoronary injection of acetylcholine (baseline) and 30 minutes after administration of isosorbide dinitrate in 50 patients with vasospastic angina and 50 patients with atypical chest pain. The baseline QTc dispersion was significantly greater in patients with vasospastic angina than in patients with atypical chest pain (mean+/-SD: 69+/-24 versus 44+/-19 ms, 95% confidence interval of mean difference [CI]: 16 to 33 ms; P
